8TH GRADE REQUIRED COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
This course is designed to ensure college and career readiness by providing students with the opportunity to volume read and volume write through the workshop model in order to explore enduring understandings that characterize the literature they read. Fiction categories will include short stories, novels, poetry, and drama.
Non-fiction categories will include auto/biography, essays/speeches, newspapers/magazines, print/electronic resources and poetry. They will also demonstrate their comprehension of these understandings by writing formally and informally – including argumentative, narrative, and informational writing - with an emphasis on the development of writing, formats, and thesis development with support.
Students will further develop active listening skills and practice effective speaking skills incorporating media and/or technology. Students will expand information literacy skills by planning research, gathering and evaluating information, taking notes, and documenting sources.
This course is designed for students to engage in studies that have a greater degree of differentiated instruction and self-direction than the regular communication arts course and ensure college and career readiness. It is intentionally vertically aligned with/to the Pre-AP and AP courses taught at the high school level. Students will explore – through specific genres of fiction, non-fiction, and media – enduring understandings that characterize the literature they read with increased focus on analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Students will demonstrate the ability to write formally and informally - including reflective/creative, argumentative, and analytical writing, with an emphasis on the development of various formats of writing. Students will use and analyze media in oral and visual presentations. They will also continue to develop research skills and the citing of sources.
Students must meet a select criteria to be placed in this course. This course is not a prerequisite for high school Pre-AP or AP courses, nor does it automatically qualify a student for those courses.
This course is the third of a three-year sequence of courses designed to prepare students for a rigorous college preparatory high school mathematics course. On a daily basis, students in Math 8 use problem-solving strategies, questioning, investigating, analyzing critically, gathering and constructing evidence, and communicating rigorous arguments justifying their thinking.
